Norfolk Saffron
Norfolk Saffron is a producer of innovative SFC products from Saffron which had a strong local history but had not been produced locally for many years. Drawing on the founder Dr Sally Francis’ background in research, Norfolk Saffron has developed a range of innovative food and drink products based on saffron as well as producing and selling the highest grade Saffron. Products are sold direct to consumers via online shop. Other outlets include local chefs and the product range is also stocked by local farm shops.
A new innovative business which developed new markets for products which had not been grown for decades in Norfolk.
There is potential to look at old products and to bring their production back as long as you focus on adding value and marketing to create a commercially viable market.
